Step 5: Add Garlic Parmesan Topping
Brush the top with olive oil or beaten egg. Sprinkle garlic powder and remaining Parmesan over the top.
Step 6: Bake
Cut 3–4 small slits on top to allow steam to escape. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 7: Cool & Serve
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
